Discovering that Maria (Garcés) is now off to Amsterdam, Kumar Patel(Penn) convinces buddy Harold Lee (Cho) to fly out to find her down.Being mistaken for terrorists, Harold and Kumar are thrown intoGuantanamo Bay. Escaping from their imprisonment, Harold and Kumarcontinues on their journey, with the Government following.

Whilst it is not as funny and entertaining as the original film, itstill contains enough jokes to please every Harold and Kumar fan. Choand Penn are fully into their characters as much as before, and Corddryshows how under-used he is in other films.

Sh*t. It's Cheney. Come on, you guys. Keep quiet. Follow me. – GeorgeW. Busg (James Adomian)

This second one tried too hard to top the first. They stuck a lovestory that wasn't very original. The plot, dialog, and characters feltdifferent, like another group of writers who never saw the first wroteit. The gags and jokes were more intended to offend and shock than tomake you laugh. I sat there in the theater and felt like the writerswere huge Howard Stern fans and were trying to pay his style and humorhomage any chance they could at the cost of a better joke. Too often ascene feels like its going to be good but then they disjoint any senseof comedic timing with some needless sex visual.

Harold and Kumar is supposed to be a stoner comedy, not a sex comedy.

I saw it two days ago so almost three weeks after I saw for the veryfirst time a film with Cheech and Chong, then I saw and loved Up inSmoke and some days later I saw but not liked at all Still Smokin(still the worst film I have seen recently). Basically as with Haroldand Kumar I didn't knew much about Cheech and Chong but after seeing Upin Smoke I became a fan, now after seeing Escape from Guantanamo Bay Iwon't rush in order to see Go to White Castle.

I'm mentioning Cheech and Chong well for obvious reasons but there aresome specific things in Escape from Guantanamo that made me rememberthe only two movies with Cheech and Chong that I have seen. Certainlyone of those things is that like in Still Smokin here the stoners willtravel to Amsterdam, will be legal weed but actually Harold and Kumarwill be sober most of the film, actually Kumar could not wait somehours in a plane to have legal s*** and thanks to that Harold and Kumarwill be smoking in Amsterdam until the end of the movie.

So sober stoners, they are not really funny (especially Harold), forgetabout them. We have the Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, he isactually funnier than Harold and Kumar, typical stuff with stereotypesand he, and his men, has funny moments (talking to Harold's parents,who are American citizens, in fake Korean), other moments that are justlame (the stuff with the Jews and with the black man who wanted to helpHarold and Kumar) and one hilarious moment that has the DeputySecretary of Homeland Security meeting his hero, meeting the man whomade that he became part of Homeland Security, meeting Neil PatrickHarris. That scene on the side of NPH will make you remember a scenefrom Up in Smoke, actually NPH has to do the same that Man Stoner hadto. Anyway, near the final scene of the movie we will have W., he isactually cooler than Harold and Kumar (certainly that's a complaint)but the scene itself I don't know, let's see: Bush loves weed, will bea really cool guy for Harold and Kumar and will end saying "f*** you"to his father. I sort of felt that the whole point of this movie was tohave Harold and Kumar saying to Bush that he should legalize itotherwise why having W. as a stoner, is not that funny or thatbizarrely great.

So we traveled to many places, Guantanamo, Alabama, Texas, Miami,Amsterdam but this was just a not memorable trip, pretty much a basicone, yes many surreal stuff but that stuff should have been funny.Actually any scene from Pineapple Express is way funnier than thiswhole movie so yes that's my bottom line: forget Escape from Guantanamoand see Pineapple Express instead!

FINAL VERDICT: It has some funny scenes. If you don't mind gross humor,check it out.
